Oblong 4°, steel engraved title with vignette and 43 plates only (one plate detached, occasional light spotting and staining), original decorated c changed hands for GBP 646.25 (€ 1,043.42) - missing the lower end Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Samuel Thomas Gill achieve.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Samuel Thomas Gill konnte im September 2001 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion THE TRAVEL SALE wechselte die Arbeit Victoria Illustrated. Second Series, with descriptive letterpress, Melbourne & Sydney: Sands & Kenny, 1862. Oblong 4°, steel engraved title with vignette and 43 plates only (one plate detached, occasional light spotting and staining), original decorated c für GBP 646,25 (€ 1.043,42) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Samuel Thomas Gill erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Princes Bridge, Melbourne, c.1854 im November 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 79.950,00 (€ 66.914,96).
